Hello,
I have an (apparently) unlocked MDA Vario III. I originally tried with a virgin UK payg sim, and also a T-Mo UK sim, but no matter what settings I try, whether on standard Rom/Radio, or custom, I cannot make the data connection work.
I'm currently on the stock T-Mobile Rom and Radio, with factory T-Mobile data settings. Even that, with an activated T-Mobile sim gives me the "Cannot connect to the network for an unknown reason" error message.
What could be causing this? Have I scuppered the phone by trying to unlock it? Could it be the SPL? (That's the only non-stock thing currently on there). Is there a way to generate some kind of log to work out what's going on?

Hey Guys,
I've upgraded my MDA to the latest firmware from T-Mobile and did the soft-reset trick to avoid the installation of the T-Mobile extended rom junk.
The phone works great but it says that it is roaming even though I'm on my home network. It never did this on the old rom. FYI... the phone is unlocked and is being used on the Rogers network in Canada (which is my home network and where the SIM is registered).
Any ideas?

roaming update
Well I've made phone calls to Rogers and T-Mobile and here's the verdict.
The phone is not actually roaming, there is no roaming charges applied, the SIM card still knows where it is; however, the new ROM from T-Mobile is a USA based rom and it makes the phone think it's not on it's home network and therfore display the roaming icon.
Fortunatly, a bug in WISBar hides the icon most of the time so I guess I'll just live with it. If anyone has a solution to get rid of the icon I'd love to hear it though.

Although I'm a T-Mo USA customer, my MDA always showed roaming as well (without the extended ROM to disable it) because my SIM is from T-Mo's predecessor, "Voicestream" which had a different MNC.
To fix it, use a registry editor and change \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableRoamingIndicator to "1" and the roaming icon is disabled.

If I disable the icon, will it show up when the phone actually is roaming?
Also, you mentioned without the tmo extended rom software to disable it... will this work correctly with the addition of the tmo ext rom? Is there a .cab we can extract to run on it's own?

Hi,
This Kaiser is unlocked. When I insert my current t-mobile (NL) and turn-on, start the phone, will the 3G/HSDPA be configured directly?
If not, could anyone point me how to configure the 3G/HSDPA? Especially if you know the setting for t-mobile NL.
Honestly, I never have 3G/HSDPA phone, I use only GPRS with the HTC Magician.
Thanks for any help.
It should be configured automatically whenever you put in a new sim card, I'm sure T-Mobile NL will be one of the many supported networks.
Worked perfectly with my Vodafone UK sim, so unless you're with some little used operator out in the middle of nowhere, I don't think you'll have any problem.
Yep. can confirm this. Recognised my (7 or 8 years) old belgian Proximus SIM and configured all settings correctly.
Hi, I SIM unlocked my trinity. I now can insert a SIM Card of any carrier and use it as a phone But when I try to connect to GPRS/UMTS it tells me imediatly (~ 500ms) that the connection was terminated by the other side. With the stock WM5 ROM (Vodafone Germany) it say its not allowed the connect to gprs in the current network.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do?
Thank you
Do you have all the appropriate settings for GPRS for the new carrier configured?
Yes i did. Settings are correct and GPRS worls with the original carrier SIM. And the new SIM works in an old BlueAngel. I guess, since the device tells me immediatly that I cant connect to GPRS, it is still SIM locked in some part. I already tried the free SIM unlocker from XDA-Devs.
Do you have an idea?
Does the Trinity make/receive calls with the new SIM? If so then it is not SIM locked.
It sounds as though you are still trying to use the GPRS settings for the original provider, this will not work for a different carrier, i am assuming the new SIM is from a different carrier.
GPRS settings are carrier specific.
Are you saying that the GPRS works in the BA? If so have you duplicated the GPRS settings from the BA?
Hi, I just returned from Europe where I has some Tilt problems using Dutty's Diamond ROM and an ATT SIM card. I purchased a European SIM card to fix my immediate problems over there, but just wondering what I can do next time so it works.
The problem manifested itself as the phone not connecting to any discovered network. The phone would discover Vodaphone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, etc. but I could not connect to any of them. Something about my data connection needing to be reset.
The phone is unlocked and buying a Vodaphone SIM card worked fine for voice (phone) calls and SMS, but still no data (Internet, email, etc.)
Can anything think of what I can do next time so I can use my ATT SIM card and still get data and voice (roaming, of course)?

sounds like you are missing the settings for data connection. For att try installing this cab:
THx, will try next time.

Do you have international dialing/roaming enabled with ATT? If you don't, you will see networks but not be able to connect. This is something you have to request. By default, ATT sets you up for use in the US only....
Ok this is weird. I had wm5 and an at&t rom before. My phone is unlocked and I am from Pakistan. I upgraded my rom to KaiserTouch 21898-WWE (Thread ID=619507)
Previously (i.e. before upgrading) my phone used to register on my operator when I inserted the sim, but now it just says No Service. I have tried Automatic/Manual Registration and although I can see my network in the list, whenever I select it, the tytn II gives the same error message. The weird thing is that I can use all my sims from other operators flawlessly on my tytn II. The particular sim (which before upgrading ran fine but is now giving a no service message) runs fine on my other cell phones. Can anyone give me a solution to the "No Service" problem? My tytn II is neither blacklisted nor does it have any hardware fault(as it can run other sims perfectly).
I have used Kaiser Sim/CID unlock with no luck. Also all my networks are 2G capable only
Are all of your connection settings correct for your carrier? Are you running on the stock radio?
